with an Outperform rating and $18.00 price target. In the report, Imperial Capital noted, “We are initiating coverage of DWCH shares with an Outperform rating and one-year price target of $18, about 24% potential upside about the recent price. We believe DWCH could capitalize on broadening adoption of visual data discovery solutions to more easily extract insights from large and complex data sets.
